Gardenia's are very striking evergreen shrubs with thick glossy green leaves and divinely perfumed cream to white flowers that will delight your senses throughout summer and through to early autumn. Planted in the garden or in containers Gardenias give their best in bright areas with morning sun and afternoon filtered shade.
Gardenias hedges not only look magnificent, they smell divine too.

Glossy green foliage and delightful single creamy white blooms with a prominent yellow and scarlet eye make this Gardenia very striking. Plant in a semi-shaded, frost free position where you can make the most of the sensuous perfume. Happy in a container. Evergreen.

Gardenias are gross feeders - meaning that like me they like lots of tucker. Regular liquid feeding will keep them healthy and happy or side dress with slow release fertilizer.

 

A delicious and delectable Gardenia with large glossy green foliage and large fully double flowers which appear from spring to summer. The flowers are creamy white and carry a heady scent. Happiest in morning sun or part shade in rich acid soil. Protect from harsh frost. Evergreen.

 

A spreading dwarf form of the eternally popular Gardenia. Covers itself in a mass of sweetly fragrant flowers from late spring to summer. Ideal as a container plant or use as a ground cover in a warm, frost free position in the garden. Will respond well to regular liquid feeding. Evergreen.

 

The heady perfume of this deliciously fragrant evergreen shrub makes it a winner for planting near a window or doorway. Bright glossy dark green leaves are topped off with pure white double rosettes of fragrance in early summer. Plant in a warm, frost free position. Feed regularly for best results.

Gardenias will grow happily in a pot as long as they are fed and watered regularly. They are gross feeders and respond well to regular liquid feeding. They can take a little sun but in NZ they are best protected from the hot afternoon sun.
